2 Factor Authentication error: That verification method isn't working right now. Please try another method.

I don't know what my Hotmail password is. Says my account is blocked due to multiple incorrect password attempts. If I try to do 2FA, I am able to get all codes and enter them then it comes up with "That verification method isn't working right now. Please try another method." Ridiculous that I have to wait 30 days to use the account via recovery code when the 2FA error is Microsoft's error.

Any ideas for a fix? Recovery form doesn't work for accounts with 2FA.
